Linde to feature portfolio of production and customer LNG supply chain solutions at HHP Summit 2013

Murray Hill and New Providence, New Jersey, U.S., September 12, 2013 --Linde North America, a global leader in the growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply and fueling market, will be highlighting its expanded portfolio of offerings across the LNG supply chain at the High Horsepower (HHP) Summit 2013 to be held at the McCormick Lakeside Center in Chicago, Illinois, September 17-19.

Earl Lawson, vice president, Energy Solutions for Linde North America, said, “For years, Linde has applied its unique cryogenic expertise to develop the LNG supply chain. We’ve done this by building LNG plants at various commercial scales, applying all major refrigeration cycles and using virtually any methane source as well as safely and reliably supplying LNG, equipment and site services to end-use customers”.

At the conference, Linde will discuss how its technology and experience can enhance the value of both producing and using LNG for companies in oil and gas, marine, rail, mining and other high horsepower markets.

At the Linde booth # 721, LNG fueling experts will be discussing the broad spectrum of products and services the company has to offer across the LNG supply chain serving the HHP market such as providing equipment, services and LNG for the first ever commercial conversion of an entire hydraulic fracturing fleet fueled by a combination of diesel and economical, clean-burning liquefied natural gas. “This project, which is still on-going, is proving the feasibility, safety, reliability, cost effectiveness and logistical benefits of using LNG in high horsepower applications,” Lawson said. “We welcome additional opportunities to overcome the challenges to successfully supply the fuel, storage and vaporization equipment and services that enable companies to use LNG.”

Linde North America is a member of the Linde Group, a world-leading gases and engineering company. HHP Summit, which had its inaugural conference in 2012, focuses on the technologies that are making the shift away from conventional fuels to natural gas to fuel a broad spectrum of high horsepower operations, including rail, marine, E&P operations, mining, and off-pipeline industrial applications.
